Once within sight of the long barrow vanished hill figures have been recorded at Fox Hill.

The spear and owl theme is very reminiscent of Lleu and Blodeuwedd's saga in the Mabinogion collection of medieval stories, so I'm wondering if there is a connection?

There's plenty of archaeological evidence at Fox Hill. Lleu's story line requires a water course which could be provided by the Liden Brook from which Liddington derives its name.


A talk taking place in the Swindon Museum on 28th March for anyone who is interested, or alternatively wishes to express scepticism about the claim that hill figures date back 3,000 years.
